Conyers’ reasons do not include an assertion that he can end the ongoing crimes through some other approach. And they do not include any claim that a successful impeachment wouldn’t end read more

What if you were the president of the United States and you chose to fight an aggressive war against another nation and to occupy it indefinitely, and you scheduled the war to suit your political timing? And then what if you learned that most of the deaths and injuries of U.S. soldiers were the result of a lack of body armor and vehicle armor, but you continued the occupation for years and years without bothering to provide the needed armor, as the casualties mounted and you dumped read more

For those who stayed riveted through the end of Congressman Dennis Kucinich’s five-hour reading of his 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush on Monday night, the three articles at the very end of the list must have come as something of a jarring surprise. As everyone knows, managing to get the World Trade Center blown up, or at least just BEING president when it happened, is George W. Bush’s greatest all-time achievement, the only action (or nonaction) read more

The United States maintains secret prisons on ships in the ocean in order to detain people outside the reach or even the knowledge of any system of law, the better to torture the ever-living cheney out of them. Over at the Black Commentator, Glen Ford (now at the Black Agenda Report) has been calling the Bush Cheney gang pirates for years. And the point is not just that they’re criminals, but that they are outlaws, killers, and thieves who operate outside any national allegiance read more

Goodnight room.

Goodnight refinery plume.

If you’ve ever been a child or a parent you’ve probably read a book called “Goodnight Moon.” I’ve just read a new parody version called “Goodnight Bush.” It’s wonderfully done, with endless bizarre and troubling and humourous details to spot on every page.
